I AM DONE AFTER THAT LAST ONE
I THINK I SAID ALL I HAD TO SAY.
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ANYONE BUT I HOPE WE SHOOT BETTER THAN WE SPEAK OUT MINDS.
IN MY LITTLE EXPERIENCE AS A MAN AND PHOTOGRAPHER I HAVE LEARNT THAT YOU CANNOT SEPARATE THE TWO SO......WE SHOOT HOW WE THINK

P.S.  Perhaps we should end this thread.  The last
time was when it was Democrat/Republican,
liberal/conservative and we had several people pick up
their marbles and go elsewhere.

Maan as my blood boiled, this email came and rescued
me.
I am black, and tho I do not need anyone to remind
me of that fact, I
do expect if nothing else, my feelings as a fellow
member of this chat
group are respected.
As a photog I do not expect everyone to get what I
shoot.  I can be
political in my ideologies and yet someone might
come behind me and go
hmmm bah humbug.  Its cool because what is important
to you might not
be important to me however, as a human being I know
that there are
things that have happened to people that I should
not repeat
insensitively. I do not think that it is being
politically correct or
incorrect, its just respect.
I shoot to tell stories, but I also do so to teach,
exchange ideas,
show shared and varying ideas.  All in all,
photography has always
brought me to places that have changed my outlook on
the world.  As a
news photographer, I travel extensively to approach
photography from a
different spiritual experience.  The way I
photograph in New York is
different from how I would photograph in say Brazil
or Iran.
I do not expect that bigotry or racism will look the
same as it did
50-60 years ago.  I do not even expect it to go
away. These days men
and women hide behind their friends and those who
support their
insensitivity, they hide behind blogs and chat
groups and they hide
behind their cameras because they for some reason
believe that the
curse of being black will rub off on them.
I believe a MAN SHOULD feel for his fellow man.  If
I say I hurt, he
should want to know why.  When this same man prefers
instead to stand
on the grounds that cause my pain, he says a lot
about himself, his
family and his ancestors.  But what would I know.
Black people were
once thought to be uneducated duds who were only
good for one thing,
slavery, building the world, raping, and of course
(Doug and BOB)when
you were done with them lynch them on the weekend.
"That usually bring
the mob out......."

nothing political about it at all -- POLITE tho,
not politically
correct or incorrect - nothing wrong with being
sensitive to others.
 And regardless of the political leanings of
Lynchburg or the Lynch
brothers or any dictionary definition, i think it
is clear that the
general association of the word lynching is with
african-americans and
totally understand the gentleman's reaction and
simple wish to be
respected.  If you google the word lynching, note
that all of the
photos depict african-americans.  note the
following google entry 
about lynching -



The term lynching probably derived from the name
Charles Lynch
(1736-96), a justice of the peace who administered
rough justice in
Virginia. Lynching was originally a system of
punishment used by
whites against African American slaves. However,
whites who protested 
against this were also in danger of being lynched.



so lynching may apply to whites also, but against
those whites who
protested against the lynching of african
americans.  

so for y'all who have an argument with Dr. Rollei
Scammer, go ahead
and mob him, whatever - just leave history in the
past
